Abstract: Plant reproduction is highly sensitive to stress from severe weather. While facilitation has been shown to buffer negative impacts along stress gradients, less is known about facilitating plant reproduction in drought periods. Because intensity and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This study evaluates drought survival mechanisms of tropical dry forest (TDF) trees based on their functional traits (FTs). We addressed the following questions: (i) What are the dominant functional guilds (FGs) of tree species… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Capillary suction across the soil–snow interface is a possible mechanism for the formation of wet basal snow layers, which are necessary for snow gliding and glide-snow avalanches. However, little is known about the conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16134
Abstract: Protists are abundant, diverse and perform essential functions in soils. Protistan community structure and its change across time or space are traditionally studied at the species-level but the relative importance of the processes shaping these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.70440
Abstract: Soil microorganisms play an important role in soil biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem stability. Elevated atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has greatly accelerated terrestrial N cycling processes and altered elemental stoichiometry of substrates, leading to changes in… read more here.
